Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Decided to get the tires mounted earlier this week. Cut the shock mount and got a thin nut for clearance with the rim, hard to see but now we have clearance. Rears are on for good, front is on to check backspace and they're way better than the old ones (I'll add both pics to see the difference in backspace). Now we have to swap the new front studs in and bolt the fronts on for good.
Before: too far out. After: nicely tucked.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
How's the motor coming?
BTW, isn't it amazing that, with all the technology in this world, we have to buy tires that seem to have their lettering painted by a 2nd grade class? (Apologies to 2nd grade classes.) |

Todd,
Did I see a bleeder screw on the bottom of the caliper?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Yes Keith, for whatever reason, they have bleeders top and bottom.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I guess so you can run them either side.
I never have had that nice of stuff. You two are building a top notch ride...

Looks like A-Tech is a subsidiary of SUMMIT

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
The "About" tab of that distributor says it's a global wholesale distributor of parts. If you bought the house brand you were putting genuine Chinese parts in your build. I do Ford, but I'll guess those are main bearings. I can't seem to be able to spend over $100 for King or Clevite bearings, so what powered your decision here? Bearings and rings are ultra stressed stuff and need to be top shelf.
